[MiserablerHurensohn]

More Super Freakonomics:

Way back when you guys put out Righteous TV Volumes One and Two, I bought extras and donated them to my local library. When I was there last week, I looked at the borrow slips and noticed that two thirds of all people that borrowed Volume One like it so much that they also borrowed Volume Two.

OK, here's the freaky part. Three people borrowed Volume One and two people borrowed Volume Two.

3 and 2

I know, I was hoping for better than that too.

[LLLLorLx4]

Who plays who? Like who plays the characters? please reply if you know.

[ZeonNaraUchiha]

i know Zac Little plays sock. idk about robot and rock sorry.

[NorthMiamiKid]

jory's totally robot, and rock could probably be ryan, or zac, probably not jory because he talks with "S'es"...

[ihavenospaces]

@NorthMiamiKid They are all Zac.

[hamstap85]

@LLLorLx4

Zac Taylor does all the voices. he's the only guy behind this operation

[rockandsockandrobot]

Haha, who is Zac Taylor?

[hamstap85]

@rockandsockandrobot

omglol i totally fucked that one up..my bad..sry for getting your name mixed up..

[rockandsockandrobot]

It's cool, dude, I was just curious as to where Taylor came from. Do I look like a "Taylor?"

[hamstap85]

i dont remember it was late at nite and it just popped into my head

[ihavenospaces]

@rockandsockandrobot Henry taylor. Exactly the same person. Google it.

[ihavenospaces]

@rockandsockandrobot Guess he means Zac Little. Randomly got Taylor though i guess. Do you do all the voices though?

[Penguindude13]

This is soo awesome! :D

[2009REV]

suck it columbus hahahaha

[randomviewer896]

this show would be alot better if the robot voice wasnt high pitched

[Eggyism]

I love that you guys say things that need to be said. Now if we could just get people like you into congress.

[KBick41]

A Rock, A Sock, and A (Cardboard) Robot in Congress.

YOU DON'T LIE

[Aano5ler]

@Eggyism

I think only ONE person voices all of them, Jory.

[askesl]

@Aano5ler It's Zach

[keithzworld]

Robot is awesome lol!

[Ayzeno]

Robots Vesting IT Up!

[TheKrazy9292]

diggin' the vest, Robot!

[Redlin5]

That is super freaky!

[glacier2win]

columbus is an ass he didn't discover america

[voltageman78]

Technically, he did, he discovered it for Spain, and other countries, because they had not knowledge of it at the time. It had been discovered, just not been widely spread enough for it not to count when he did it.

[glacier2win]

Leif Ericson (Spelling) discovered America. (Meaning the first one to sail to it)

[SynysterArtist15]

youre right, he didnt discover it FIRST. technically Native Americans did when they came over from Asia. then came the europeans, i think the vikings were first, but they didnt stay long

[glacier2win]

asdf asdf

[matsar]

Why is robot wearing a vest?

[xihearthe80sx]

So true, staticstics and society are so corrupt, just like Columbus. :P dumb columbus. He was an awful, ruthless person. I've read his journal entries from when he came to the new world. It made me so angry...but maybe that's just because I'm Native American. :P

[prodigy372]

I've never heard of push polling before, but based on what I actually paid attention to in the video, I'd guess it has something to do with using unreliable data to come up with bullshit statistics.

[rockandsockandrobot]

Yeah, Jory came up with that Poll question... it's sort of unrelated. I wouldn't accuse the writers of the book of push-polling, because for the most part they don't seem to have collected their own data.

[Staytec]

HA BISKY!!!

[guyboy625]

wow

[georgewig]

is this done in adobe flash

[retrospects]

HA BISK wait who am you again and why are you looking at me!

[AndrewBean90]

columbus is an asshole

[BorgMercenary]

All but one of these videos has been completely correct and very comedic. I've been passing links.

[rockandsockandrobot]

So which one wasn't? Out of curiosity?

[BorgMercenary]

@rockandsockandrobot Number 35. I like Europe. Even if it was satire, it was still a bad idea to say "Fuck Europe".

[pinkaholic30]

I'm required to read Freakonomics next year... maybe I'll show my english calss this video. (lol... 69 ratings)

[thehund]

actully useing lazers they can prove the earth is round...but i do understand the point of the vid and i did like it

[arequipa1]

oh thank goodness an upload that isn't drilling liberal politics into our skulls oh-so-subtly!!!! thanks RSR!

(anticipating many thumbs down)

[SabinleRose]

-thumbs up to disappoint-

[Hypercoaster1989]

Awesome video! I loved the whole "restricting sample size" thing! The schizophrenic homeless guy makes 400% more than the college graduate, the world is flat in RSR-land! Great stuff!

And another reason to get universal health care? So the severely mental ill, like the imaginary schizophrenic in this RSR, could afford medication and not have to go homeless. My number-one reason for being a universal health care proponent.

-Hypercoaster1989-

[marcoolivergibson]

i love the related videos are old rock em sock em robots haha

[bobwatters]

i have always hated statistics b/c of what they said everyone makes them look like what they want

[jemar200]
